| Summary: | Municipalities are faced with the major task of providing water services to their local
residents. Dissatisfaction regarding water services in South Africa has been manifested in
protests staged by communities. However, service delivery is still reflecting a backlog.
This study aims to describe the current situation and challenges facing Greater Tubatse Local
Municipality and the roles of the major players regarding water services. The study indicated
that the residents of Praktiseer have no sustainable potable water. The critical part of this
inquiry is to establish whether the local municipality has strategies in place to deal with the
identified problems.
Access to clean water and sanitation is essential to health. The Constitution of the Republic
of South Africa mandates the local governments to ensure the provision of water services to
their communities in a sustainable manner. This study also defined the roles of the local
municipality within the context of the existing legislative framework. === Thesis (M. Development and Management)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2012.
